Equipment
- Steamer
- Blender
- Potato masher or fork
- Non-stick pan
- Silicone spatula
- Glass jar or airtight container (to store the filling)
Ingredients
- 300 g purple sweet potato peeled and diced
- A small amount of water or milk
- 60 g granulated sugar adjust to taste
- 35 g corn oil
Instructions
- Prepare the purple sweet potatoes by peeling and cutting them into cubes. I suggest cutting them into small pieces to make it faster and easier to steam.
- Place purple sweet potatoes in a steamer with water and steam until they become soft for mashing. Use the fork test to check if the sweet potatoes are soft.
- Mash the sweet potatoes until you get a soft paste.
- In a blender, blend the mashed sweet potatoes with water or your choice of milk. The puree should become more moist but not runny.
- Sauté the puree in a non-stick pan for 3 minutes.
- Then, add granulated sugar and corn oil.
- Mix well and keep stirring until it is sticky and paste-like.
